About the name Itamara
The origin of Itamara is not known with certainty. The male name Itamar comes from the Hebrew Ithamar, a biblical name, and the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) gives it the possible sense 'land of palm trees', with a question mark; the connection of Itamara with Itamar is not documented. Itamara also ends in -mara, a formative that the morpheme list of the same dictionary associates with three possible sources: a hypocoristic of Maria, Hebrew marah ('bitterness') or Tupi marã ('evil'). In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 6,556 people named Itamara, with a median age of 31.
